IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 2

[Scotley]

Rogash

"A place to sleep and mug of ale would be all I ask, the bathing, feather pillows and satin sheets ye can keep."

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia gives Caerwyn's arm a tired, halfhearted punch and says to the innkeeper, "He was kidding about the pillows and sheets. Whatever you have available will be more than enough."

She glances at Rogash and wrinkles her nose.

"Baths, however, would be nice."

"Bah!" the innkeeper grumbles. "Askin' a lot fer this late in the night. What's it keepin' ye out so late that ye be wakin' me up this time o' night?"

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia shakes her head.

"Do you want our coin, or shall we give it to someone else? As you can see we're tired and we'd like to stay here, but if it's so much trouble for you, I think we can make it to the next inn over."

Shai waits to the back of the work, hoping they don't spend the rest of the night trying to find a bed. He scratchs between Dyspeer's ears even as he scratches the back of his own neck. He stops when he feels something odd, and yanks at it.

Hissing softly at the pain, he opens his palm to find ... a feather? The druid looks to his wolf, who merely looks back patiently. As the others negotiate lodging, Shai surreptitious puts the feather in his belt pouch and goes back to scratching Dyspeer between the ears.

"Yes, Tal, I think maybe we should go to the next inn. And I also think that we should stop doing our work in this neighborhood, too. Let a few of these good people meet in a dark alley what we've met tonight, and I'll just bet some tunes will change."

"Now hold on there! I never said nothin' 'bout not wantin' yer money!" The innkeeper is obviously tired and frustrated. "Jist thought I might be gettin' a story is all... bound t'be up to sumptin' good bein' yer out this late."

The man looks around secretively, then lean over the counter. "So, what's it ye been meetin' this night?" he whispers with a wink.

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia lifts an eyebrow skeptically to cover for her moment of adjustment. Then she says, "I'm not sure you're cleared for that information."

Quickly she shifts gears, becoming a bit airy and gracious, "But if it's stories you want, here's one for free; be wary of the sewers. The smell is far from the only foul thing in them."

She produces her purse and looks at the innkeeper expectantly, though what she's expecting...be it keys or 'clearance'...she leaves purposely unsaid.

Shai bites his lip at Talashia's manipulation, managing not to smile. He's not inclined to speak, however, unsure that he'll be able to maintain his composure.

Uulark Simental, Cleric7, AC18,FF15,T13, HP28/35, -4 wisdom=12

Uulark is clearly in no mood to make nicey-nicey with this rude and curmudgeonly old innkeeper. He folds his arms and moves near the door, waiting/hoping that they can just leave soon.
